Teaching Philosophy

Mrs. Boswell's teaching style is reflective of both her classical and richly creative background as a musician and pedagogue. She draws equally from traditional and modern teaching practices - careful not to stray from the importance of a strong foundation, while keeping lessons engaging and inviting. Lessons are inclusive of a variety of musical styles, written theory and games, and a balance between notational reading and rote understanding of musical elements. Mrs. Boswell also regularly works to improve her skills as both a pianist and pedagogue to offer her students the best of her abilities.
